Red Sea risk not materially changed amid Houthi threat to Haifa-trading shipowners
- Houthis’ announcement “doesn’t change anything”, says Control Risks analyst Arran Kennedy
- Security experts say shipowners trading in Israel have been targeted since November 2023
- Some 15 shipowners who called in Haifa since January also sailed through the Red Sea
Announcement from Houthis of a ‘prohibition on maritime navigation to and from the port of Haifa’ does not change the Red Sea risk picture, as owners with links to Israel have been targeted since the crisis began in November 2023, security experts say
